Understanding Coin Grading & Value
Coin grading is essential to determining the market value of a rare coin. We rely on the industry’s two most trusted grading authorities: PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) and NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation). Here’s what you need to know:
Grading Scale (Sheldon Scale):
MS-70: Mint State Perfect
MS-65: Mint State Choice
AU-58: Almost Uncirculated
VF-35: Very Fine
G-4: Good
Factors Affecting Value:
Rarity: Mintage numbers, surviving specimens
Condition: Higher grade = higher price
Demand: Market interest for specific coins or eras
Historical Significance: Tied to events or notable figures
Metal Content: Gold, silver, platinum purity and weight
Our staff helps you interpret grading labels and select coins that balance condition, historical value, and investment potential.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I look for when buying rare coins?
Look for authenticated, certified coins graded by PCGS or NGC. Focus on historical relevance, condition, and rarity. Ensure the dealer offers transparency and expert guidance.
Are rare coins a good investment?
Yes, especially over the long term. Rare coins often appreciate in value and provide a tangible, non-digital store of wealth.
How do I verify a coin’s authenticity?
Always purchase from trusted dealers. Certified coins come sealed with grading information from third-party services like NGC and PCGS. You can verify certifications online via their databases.
What is the difference between bullion and rare coins?
Bullion coins are valued based on metal content. Rare coins carry both metal value and numismatic (collectible) value based on scarcity and condition.
Can I sell my coins back to Atlanta Rare Coin?
Yes. We offer coin appraisal services and actively buy coins from collectors looking to liquidate or trade.
